#TheTudorsWeek2023, by @thetudorsgifs | Day 1: Best Episode(s)

Episode 2x02: Tears of Blood: Henry continues undermining the Catholic Church's influence in England, while his chaplain makes a fact-finding tour of Lutheran Germany; Anne resolves to consummate her relationship with the king as Brandon plants doubts about her virtue.

Episode 2x03: Checkmate: His patience at an end, Henry marries Anne in secret, appoints his Lutheran chaplain Thomas Cranmer the head of the Church, and strips Queen Katherine of her title and status; the king and new queen's first child is born, a girl christened Elizabeth.

Episode 2x10: Destiny and Fortune: In the Season 2 finale, Anne awaits execution in the Tower of London as Henry's marriage to her is annulled, baby Elizabeth is removed from the line of succession, and Henry proposes to Jane Seymour, who accepts.

Episode 3x05: Problems in the Reformation: Henry remains in seclusion while mourning the queen's death, an opportunity that enemies of the crown seize to murder several friends of the court; Cromwell is disturbed when Henry doesn't resist his new church's similarities to Catholicism.

Episode 3x09: The Undoing of Cromwell: In the Season Three finale, Henry moves swiftly to annul his loveless marriage to Anne of Cleves, and beds a new teenage mistress; Princess Mary falls in love with Duke Philip of Bavaria; Cromwell's fall from favor is sudden and dramatic.

Episode 4x01: Moment of Nostalgia: Henry introduces his new wife to court, Katherine Howard, his fifth Queen. She attempts to befriend Henry's children; this succeeds with his young son, Prince Edward, but she receives only contempt from Lady Mary while Lady Elizabeth is receptive but prefers to spend time with Henry's former wife Anne of Cleves.

#thetudorsweek2023 #these episode summaries are...smth #they seem to pretty much match the amazon summaries except weirdly the second one #'christened elizabeth' to 'both newylweds disappointed by her gender'#unpopular not to include the finale ik but like...#idk. i kind of thought they phoned the finale in a bit #i liked all the ghosts of past and future and the last scene with kparr and his children #really loved the parallel of his road to the afterlife being the same as the reunion between him and AB after she survived #the sweating sickness...and the parallel in their deaths too (a sword from behind that they could not see because they were distracted by #something else higher above them #and then the white horse works either as christian symbol or knight-errant or both #but the rest...kind of mid #they just expected me to care about charles brandon. far more than i do #charles brandon is to me what AB seems to be to others #im resentful he had so much screentime at the expense of introducing other characters #like we barely even got the exeter conspiracy. we did but like that was the exact moment they introduced the poles #we saw margaret pole for like five seconds s1 but otherwise. yeah #the google summaries are also. something. damn #shorter but maybe i should have picked them #also like the way the last episode summary does not allude to what was the title at all lol #(it's from a line from dialogue from henry to elizabeth #when he gives her a copy of tacitus' annals)

Yknow I’m surprised I haven’t seen SparkleDog-sona’s/Helluva Boss-sona’s of Raz and the gang considering his VA works with Ms. Vizpop

Im hoping they stay FAR away from it. But, I highly doubt it because I think the chances of that happen are slim to none

Look, Richard, my man. I love you, but for the love of God if there are any cameos of his actual GOOD characters in THAT show I'm going to lose it

Keep that shit away from my son

#This isn't to say Richard does a terrible job at Moxxie #If anything hes one the people who carries the show (voice acting wise) besides..... um.#Idrk tbh the rest is kind of mid #But yeah NO #Istg if Viv ever lays her finger on Psychonauts I'll bite it off #But I highly doubt it #Again the chances of that are slim to zero #So we don't have to worry about it really #doodles rants #vivziepop critical #helluva boss critical

once upon a time, in about 2016, someone wrote HeR to find out where they sourced the images used to decorate Abby's room in MHM and were told that the art came from the Corel library.

this... was not true. obvs I don't think the HeR employee who answered that email was intentionally misleading/lying to this person, but it's bad info nevertheless. basically all the in game art from MHM/the early games came from the Mary Evans/Pictures Now collection, which I know because I've spent a buttload of time trying to id all the irl art used in the games.

so why bring up the Corel thing? because as it turns out that there is an ND game that almost exclusively* used art from Corel, but it's not MHM, or any of the early games. that game is in fact Warnings at Waverly Academy. seriously. easiest time I've ever had tracking down in-game art. (the corel art collection is waaay smaller than the mary evans/pictures now collection. like two orders of magnitude smaller. like 500 images vs 60,000 images. you get the picture.)

*and by almost exclusively I mean there is seriously one painting in wac that isn't on any of the corel art disks. and that painting? pictures now collection. why? why not any of the 450+ corel paintings that didn't make it into wac? the mind boggles.

#niche posting is extremely niche today #apologies y'all #i just find it kind of weird.#also uh. means that in 2009 when making wac her was still using their corel photo disks from 1997 #i'm not sure if they should be ashamed or if they should own it.#that said the art chosen for wac has no thematic consistency at all it literally seems like it was selected at random #and all the paintings are stupidly tiny for no reason (except maybe image quality since again the corel images are form the mid '90s)#and they use some of the paintings more than once in the same game - srs there's at least 2 they use twice and 1 they use THREE TIMES #it's lazy. that's what i'm saying. it's lazy.#just like the rest of wac lmao.#what can i say i have long been on the record as a wac hater #warnings at waverly academy #wac #clue crew #anyway art id posts queued to come out over the course of the weekend.

i'm scared to talk about them bc every time I talk about fic plans I somehow always end up hating them and never posting bc I feel like I've overhyped them and people are going to think I'm weird and cringe and suck, BUT I'm really excited about whump: the musical and I want to post my fics now but I can't :(((((

#just screaming to myself about these fics ig #not overhyping or hyping anything at this point anymore bc everything I actually like flops horrendously #I don't want to let people's reactions affect my work but lately I've just been like.... WOW MY FICS ARE A BUNCH OF SHIT #been in a creatively stunted hole since like #...mid october #one trick pony at it again ig #in the words of lin #come on brain think of things come of brain be so smart #I think writing academic papers like crazy at the end of the semester kind of burnt me out???#like I feel like all of my work is lacking heart and idk how to fix it??? I feel like I come off as more clinical and formula based #idk this has just turned into a rant #someone give me advice pls #maybe I should write more riskily or something #BUT WHAT IS RISKY IDK #maybe I just need to have fun and write what I like and to hell with the rest of it

Vladimir: Did you ever read the Bible?

Estragon: The Bible... [He reflects.] I must have taken a look at it.

Vladimir: Do you remember the Gospels?

Estragon: I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. There's where we'll go, I used to say, there's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy.

Vladimir: You should have been a poet.

Estragon: I was. [Gesture towards his rags.] Isn't that obvious.
